Commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the Long March: Nationwide Educational Initiatives
Across China, various organizations and institutions are commemorating the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, a seminal event in the history of the Communist Party of China. From corporate party committees to educational institutions and government bodies, the spirit of the Long March is being revisited through thematic exhibitions, study tours, and commemorative events designed to inspire the younger generation.
In Dongguan, the party organization under Dongguan Holdings recently organized a visit to a thematic exhibition honoring the Long March. The event served as a platform for employees to reflect on the historical significance of the journey and its enduring relevance to modern corporate values and national development. Similarly, in Beijing, the Municipal Cultural Heritage Bureau coordinated a visit for young officials to the ‘Great Expedition’ exhibition, encouraging them to draw strength from the resilience and determination demonstrated by the Red Army nine decades ago.
Academic institutions have also been active in this nationwide tribute. Private universities held joint study sessions to discuss the historical lessons of the Long March, while Chongqing University hosted a ‘Light and Shadow’ exhibition, utilizing multimedia displays to bring the history of the Red Army to life for students and faculty. These events are not merely historical retrospectives; they are framed as ‘practice-based learning’ activities aimed at fostering patriotism and a sense of responsibility among youth.
Media coverage across the country, including reports from China Daily and CCTV, highlights that the ‘Long March spirit’ continues to serve as a vital ideological anchor. By connecting historical narratives with contemporary challenges, these commemorative activities aim to instill a sense of perseverance and unity. As the nation marks this milestone, the focus remains on interpreting the ‘spiritual code’ of the Long March and applying its lessons to the ongoing pursuit of national rejuvenation.
